More goes into ordering a Custom File Folder than you might think. From brand to fastener positions, telling your SmartPractice® Customer Care Specialist the necessary details can help you save time – and get exactly the product you need faster.
According to SmartPractice Marketing Coordinator, Heather Kalish, “It’s pretty common to get requests like, ‘I’m looking for a folder with several fasteners,’ or ‘I’d like a file folder that expands to 5 inches.’ What customers should keep in mind is that with thousands of options to choose from, specificity is key.”
So, how can you give SmartPractice the proper specifications to get the right Custom File Folder?

Give Us These Six Specifications So We Can Provide a Quote
1. Type: Define whether the folder you want is a pocket folder, end tab, folder with dividers, right hand or left hand tab. Also let us know if it has indexes or any other distinguishing features.
2. Size: Tell us the dimensions of your desired file folder. If it expands – what are the expansion dimensions?
